Video: Cristiano Ronaldo rescues Al Nassr with 951st career goal vs. Al Feiha in Saudi Pro League
As usual, Cristiano Ronaldo took center stage in the Saudi Pro League. The Portuguese forward gave Al Nassr a crucial boost by scoring the equalizer against Al Feiha, who had taken the lead early in the match.
The team coached by Jorge Jesus had endured an unusually tough week after the loss to Al Ittihad, which sealed their elimination in the Round of 16 of the King Cup of Champions. That defeat snapped an impressive run for Al Nassr, who had recorded ten straight wins across all competitions.
In the Saudi Pro League, however, their form remained outstanding heading into Saturday. They entered Matchday 7 as the sole leaders of the standings with a perfect record, having won their first six matches of the tournament. And the task seemed straightforward, as they were facing a mid-table side.
Al Feiha, however, made things far more difficult than expected. The visitors took a surprising lead in the 13th minute when Jason struck the opener after a quick counterattack and a delicate finish over goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi.
